UofL Players Into Transfer Portal

It should just say that he’s entered the money portal 🙄
Its a situation where we could pay him, but they don't think it's worth it to pay him what he's asking.

There are programs who are
1. Desperate for an OT and will pay the price
2. Have loads of money and depth and it won't hit

We have enough money to build a solid team, but we aren't loaded like a program like Tennessee is right now. We have to spend wisely and Monroe has questions and we can't spend on that and we have good OL depth. Jeff feels like it wouldn't be right.

This one sucks but Sylvester really came on late. I would say OT are over priced but he is a proven player. His actual production supports a big pay day. Having a really good left tackle is extremely important.

That’s why I called it the “money portal” because this was a decision made solely on money!
 
So did we get all the tranfer (starters) OLs coming in on the cheap?

Or is he PO’d because they got more than him?
To me this was a business decision on both sides. The market dictates players movement. Total guess but they have been negotiating they couldn’t come to an agreement. More than likely it was a pretty big gap.

Hicks is he got paid no reason to get in a bidding war.
